The interwebs are abuzz with the switch of Lena M to SIG from SW and there's an undercurrent of "what do you expect given what happened at SW." What is the backstory to this mistreatment she suffered at the hands of Smith.

Lena Miculek -
Today marks a big change for me in my shooting career. Because of Smith & Wesson, I managed to rack up over 50 major titles and 4 world championships over the course of 3 years. However, I am now very excited to announce myself as an official member of Team Sig Sauer! I can't wait to put the P320 & M400 to the test this year in my competition season!
Thanks again to Smith & Wesson Corp. for supporting my passion of shooting and allowing me to go out and make a name for myself. I could not have done it without you guys!
no different than any other pro athlete, ya go where the $ is...i mean respect isNot a surprise pro shooters swap allegiances on a regular basis depending on the kind of deal that they get. Not the first time and it won't be the last.

But whose revolvers will she shoot?
As for loyalty, don't forget that R. Lee Ermey is pitching for Team Glock.
I met him at SEMA in Vegas in 2013.
I said to him "you really disapointed us 1911 guys when you started shilling for Glock"
He replied "Let me tell you, the 1911 is one fine fighting mans pistol, I own five of them myself, but the advantage to a Glock is you never have to clean it"
To that I said "My 1911's are stainless, I just throw them in the dishwasher"
What kind of money do the pro shooters make ?
I don't care. I'm just really happy to see the industry supporting shooters especially women.

Technically Hickok45 quit/retired from being a private school teacher to do his channel.

Isn't there a picture of the two of you in the one of the NES threads? I think that I saw one a while ago.
That right there is a 21st century American success story.I'm not sure how much the competition shooters make, but a guy like 22plinkster picked up enough sponsors that he quit his day job:
Yes! Chic yoga pants and guns!Maybe she can get a sponsorship from 5.11, too....

This. How else could you possibly explain someone like Jessie Abbate (Duff) switching from Glock to Taurus?
